Why does the penis turn white?

With the improvement of people's living standards, everyone's health awareness is getting higher and higher. Many men usually have the habit of observing their bodies carefully. If the male penis turns white, it is likely to be vitiligo. If it is not vitiligo after diagnosis, it is likely to be caused by local skin irritation. It may also be caused by the lack of melanin in the local skin of the penis. It is best to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause.

Why is the glans white?

1. Why does the glans penis turn white?

There is white secretion inside the foreskin of the glans penis, which cannot be discharged and gradually forms smegma with a very bad smell. The long-term accumulation of smegma is suitable for the reproduction and growth of bacteria, which can infect the genital area and easily cause balanitis, which can cause: flushing, rashes, red spots, secretions, itching, and odor on the glans penis. Due to the long-term existence of the foreskin and the growth of smegma, the inflammation will be repeatedly infected and will not be cured for a long time. If it is not handled in time, it will also lead to many unimaginable consequences.

Balanitis can induce premature ejaculation and penile cancer (smegma itself is a carcinogen), not only affecting sexual life, but also damaging the quality of male semen, causing infertility. When the foreskin cannot be turned back, it will lead to serious consequences such as incarcerated foreskin.

If there is white secretion inside the foreskin, it should be cleaned immediately. The method is very simple. Just pull the foreskin back, wash it with warm water, and then wipe it with a warm and wet towel. At the same time, if a man has a long foreskin or phimosis, he should choose a professional hospital for examination as soon as possible to see if circumcision is needed to completely eliminate inflammation and smegma problems.

Long-term masturbation leads to the appearance of small white spots on the glans, which can easily lead to penile damage. However, the wound is not easy to find, and it is always infected with some bacteria, which will lead to the adverse symptoms of small white spots on the glans.

3. Balanitis can cause the glans to turn white

In fact, balanitis is a common disease. Balanitis is divided into balanitis and glansitis. Because they often appear at the same time, it is called penile balanitis. This inflammation can be infectious or non-infectious. Infectious balanitis is more common in clinical practice. For acute balanitis, avoid using corticosteroid hormone ointment to avoid causing more serious infection. Pay attention to local hygiene, clean the glans and foreskin every day, if the foreskin is too long, it should be treated in time, and circumcision should be performed when necessary. It is necessary to clean the smegma in time.

Unclean sex life not only causes men to suffer from some diseases, but also transmits them to their wives, thus affecting the health of the entire family and easily leading to the occurrence of small white spots on the glans penis.

What disease are the white spots on the glans?

Young men often visit doctors because of a row or several pinpoint-sized papules on their glans. They are worried, some are worried about tumors, and some are afraid of STDs. In the sexual medicine consultation letters, there are also many inquiries about this disease, and they describe it very specifically: the rash is the size of a millet grain, similar in color to the surrounding skin, and is not painful or itchy. Although it has no effect on urination and sexual life, it causes great psychological pressure.

In fact, this disease is neither a tumor nor a sexually transmitted disease. Medical experts have confirmed through pathological sections that its structure is normal connective tissue hyperplasia. In medicine, it is named pearly penile papules.

The cause of pearly penile papulosis is not yet clear, and the diagnosis mainly depends on the location and shape of the rash. There is no specific treatment for this disease, and it does not require treatment. The most important thing for people with this disease is to understand the disease and get rid of fear and worry. This disease has no effect on health and the physiological function of the penis.
